They are all so amazing. I really love the first one the most (Ancestral) especially the deer horn candle holders.

Wow, I want one!Lord Ganesha is my favorite of all deities I work with.
I do like your Samhain alter. It's absolutely amazing.
Now I envy a little, cause I don't have any altar and I want one :)

I am not exactly "out of the broom closet". My husband has an idea of my practices, but we don't really discuss it. On the other hand his family is extremely religious and I just don't want to destroy the good relationship I have with them. I set up altars every time I need one, but don't have a permanent one.

As a hindu, I was so surprised to see this photo of Lord Ganesh with skulls :)
I gooled it and it so happens that this is more Indonesian. How interesting! Learning something new everyday :D

As far as I know, that is a Tantric image of Lord Ganesh. According to lore, the image wards of negative energies, entities and forces.

Ha! you should be blushing :mrgreen: ...I'm jealous, I love the little Ganesh. And everything around it, the grains are beautiful and Bombay orchids are my favorite smiley_dance ...what else is that? marshmallows and?....
We have a mountain near where I circle and we have named it Mt. Ganesh and give it honor before ceremony. The mountain looks just like an elephant squatting down and resting it's head upon it's front legs...I may have a pic, but am not real tech savvy.
Seraphin, you're pretty amazing.
